04 Val Yap
CEO and Founder
PolicyPal
If ever the world needed help understanding insurance, it’s now. In 2016, Val Yap had the foresight to create insurtech PolicyPal, a free app that allows the user to manage their coverage from one integrated platform. To date, Yap has been listed among Forbes’ ‘30 under 30’ and Fortune’s ‘40 under 40’ in recognition of her prodigious achievements in finance so far. Her career has been diverse both before and after finding success with PolicyPal: she was a broker at Allianz, an associate at PwC, and assistant VP at OCBC Bank. Furthermore, since 2018, she has continued to teach as a fellow of the Singapore University of Social Sciences, where she covers fintech and resource activities.

Jane Fraser CEO
Citigroup Although all the women on this list are innovators in their field, Jane Fraser holds the distinction of being a genuine history maker. The first female CEO of a leading Wall Street investment bank, her career and thorough experience make her more than equal to the challenge. Fraser was born in St Andrew, Scotland, and was previously a partner at McKinsey & Co for over 10 years. Her consistently high level of achievement has not failed to garner industry praise, with both American Banker and Fortune singling her out in consecutive years. Fraser is emblematic of the success that female executives can attain when an organisation opens itself to equality. fintechmagazine.com
